Match day thread - Saints v Crows

[The Fireman]

this is all Gilbos fault.

[magnifisaint]

ACL for Goddard unfortunately it seems. As good as a mark McCartin is his kicking for goal at the moment is awful. Not much good taking big marks then not converting

At least he can get it. Goddard doesn't even know where the ball is.

[bigballs]

Where is Scotty Thompson? Anyone know?

Late change Con......soreness apparently!

[Con Gorozidis]

Coach clearly has a bee in his bonnet about Lee.

[Con Gorozidis]

this is all Gilbos fault.

Who? I didn't know he was still playing. I thought he retired at the end of last year.

[MC Gusto]

got a feeling we will comeback hard in the 2nd half

watch this space...

crows battled hard late last week...

[The Fireman]

this is all Gilbos fault.

Who?

the bloke you blame for everything..that bloke

[MC Gusto]

sincerely doubt goddard was a part of any trade deal...that would make a complete mockery of our draft program

He does need to be held responsible for his role in MH370.

[Devilhead]

Crows with 244 disposals for a half of footy - nearly 90 more than us

Says we arent working hard enough / running hard enough - Crows are able to get players free and hit up these players because our pressure is non existant - only 25 tackles

No pressure no turnovers - our workrate is dismal

19 players with 10 possessions or under

Unless we can start bringing game interstate we aint goin nowhere

[MC Gusto]

so after publishing an article on our clean bill of health we have fish with a hammy, freeman with a hammy, goddard acl and roo jarred knee?

that was worth it

We look fresh at least.

But even if we do, does that in anyway excuse that first half?

If it was are only such half for the year then fair enough.

Unfortunately at present the Saints (and this is nota troll) are probably the biigest team for downhill skiing in theAFL.

We even seem to be up and about with plenty of run, defensive pressure and ok disposal OR just totally inept with poor workrate, no pressure and absoluely "headless chook" disposal ability.

Middle ground efforts are rare. Just good or diabolical!

Today two thirds of the team are only offering up token efforts. Very disappointing to witness.

[bigballs]

Nothing to lose now, what we need to do is change the pattern of the game and try to slow the game down!

We have to try and maintain as much possession as possible without turning it over all the time. Big ask I know!

[cwrcyn]

These games leave us with no illusions about where we a really at. We are 6 or 7 players short of being a quality team

ok but you have him responsible for global warming

[Tom_Sainter]

Too many terrible things to mention in this one... hope we can keep it under 100pts.

omg Goddard bad bad bad. hope it's not season ending.

Our bakline is still so dependent on Fisher : (

Hard to call it a backline really, bordering on VFL standard, shame for Goddard but he was getting torn a new one before he went off, was being completely dominated. We have no leaders out there

[BigMart]

Disgusting, shameful effort!!!

Dunstan, Newnes, Ross, Billings, Webster, Murdoch

Really need to be better and wo

Some senior players embarrassing... Gilbert, mean seriously

Steven, Weller, Geary aside... And some OK efforts by the fwds given limited chances...

[MC Gusto]

nothing goes are way in these games

[Con Gorozidis]

Jenkins has 6 already. I blame Tom Lee.

[Goose is king]

Wow. From no injuries in defence to Goddard, fisher and possibly Dempster.
